I'm glad you didn't write that email.  You WOULD have felt absolutely foolish the following day.  And, to my knowledge emails don't have a string attached where you can just yank em back after you've changed your mind!

I hope it really does happen for me someday! Ok, I know it will, I know it will. I'm trying to be positive.

You're absolutely right! I'll just have to keep telling myself that.

When we look back at the "one that got away"

Do we miss the person, or just miss the crazy mad love we were in that made us feel like we were invincible?  I've asked this question to myself many times, and I think I'm selfish, and I miss the love that I was in rather than the person himself.  I've gotten a little more realistic with the relationships since then, and I've had a little less heartache.  Only a little though.  Buck up, you'll fall in love again.

We all play the "what if?" game...

And we always miss "the one that got away". 
I haven't even been around my "one that got away" for years, and I still think of him.  And I'm married now, and very much in love, for almost 13 years!  The One That Got Away is always there in the back of your heart/mind... you just have to realize, if it was meant to be, it would have been. :-)
Keep your chin up, it'll happen for you.

Oh, go ahead and mope

It's good for you once in a while. How's this - tomorrow night, around about this time, I'll sit and mope in sympathy. I've just rediscovered the joy in blogging so I can't mope right now, but I'm sure tomorrow -being Monday- will bring something to mope about. Not that I'm the glass half-empty type... Who am I kdding - yes I am.

I keep trying to tell myself that. It would be easier though if I had been the one that dumped him.

Temple

That's exactly right. I was so sure that he was the one that I'm now grieving the life I won't be having.

I am feeling better today. I still miss him though. Cunning was right about him all along. Bless his heart he has not once said "i told you so."

Hopefully both of our hearts will heal soon.

I'm thirty years old and no one has ever been in love with me. I don't get it. I'm damn near pefect! I guess the whole break up heart ache has mostly boiled down to an ego thing. Then it pretty much always does I suppose.

Genius

I know that's what I need to do and I wish I could but I have no single friends anymore so it's like pulling teeth to get anyone to go out past 9:00.

Sorry to hear you're down abou this...I haven't forgotten about you! I'll write you later this week

Sorry your feeling down about the guy but I really think that when you start getting out again and meet new people it will help you to ease the hurt. Try to think of him as the one who lost out in the relationship.

You just feel this until you don't, it's that simple for me at least.

Times change and I think we miss the one that got away because he symbolizes what we want, not even necessarily him. It will sort itself out, just let it run its course. :)

Goooood Morning! Don't Let the Sun Catch You BooHoo-ing....

All of us experience this Jojo.  We all want eternal lust but lovey-dovey feelings seem to fizzle quicker in this instant coffee, instant tea, instant oatmeal times.  We have to lose the expectation of a partner being the key to our self-worth and that's when our fairy tales usually come true.  Then VOALA  !!!  It's back to the lovey-dovey feelings again, and the cycle begins.   I bet you are feeling much better today.... Regards, Melody

I get it

Two years on, I'm still wondering when he will leave my head.  Hopefully it won't take so long for you.

Jojo,

It hurts me to see ya feeling so down. About all I can suggest is get yourself out and look for activity that will make the thoughts of him disappear at least for a little while. The more you do to take your mind off of him, the better you will feel.  Shadow

that's rough

I'm sorry you're feeling bad.  You should set up a "night with the girls" and get out on the prowl again.

Don't worry about it....and one question.............why do we always want the one that got away?
